Mumbai Traffic Police — corrupt traffic police

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra

I am highly disappointed by mumbai traffic police.. I am from delhi and travelled to mumbai on 8th nov to see my ailing father in law. I took my brother in law's car to visit hospital in south mumbai. I was driving with my wife and child.. I don't know the place but it was somewhere between prabhadevi and south mumbai where this traffic hawaldar along with his 2 colleagues stopped me at secluded place and told me that i crossed paedistrians red light. I said the guy that i don't think so.. But from the biggining he threatend me that the voilation will cost me 1500/- and to escape i should give him 500/-. Being a law abide citizen i said him that m ready to pay against the violation and i know this violation is eligible for fine not more than 100/-. I told him that i am with my wife and child so pls don't harass me but he didn't gave any heed to my request and threatened to take me to police station.
I asked him about his name which he tried to hide which is against law. I saw no police men was bearing name batch which is against law.. What a shame for mumbai traffic police.. What the higher authorities are seeing.. Mumbai is not a small town.. It is financial capital.. On my repeated insist he casually told i am pawar.. He keeps on wearing helmet.. It gives me impression that this guy pawar is very corrupt guy who used to extort money from innocent public that's why he has taken full safety measure to hide his identity and escape from any video recording. To reach hospital i had ultimately paid bribe of 200/- in broad day light to these sarkari gundas.. I request jcp amitesh thakur to take strict action against all such officials. I also want to share one more very shame full thing emerged from this episode. This so called pawar even used marathi manoos factor and abused me with north indian remark which shocked me that how these guys forget being an indian rather they are differentiating on regional basis.. Inka bas chale to kashmir ki tarah maharashtra ki alag desh ki mang karne lagenge.. I only saw these marathi manoos factor prevailed in mumbai in news but felt this abuse my self during my recent mumbai visit.. Shame on these so called sarkari guys.. They are maligning the reputation of other wise nice city like mumbai.
